Ho Chi Minh quoted by Rene J. Defourneaux, August 9, 1966
I have always been impressed with your country's treatment of the Philippines. You kicked the Spanish out and let the Filipinos develop their own country. You were not looking for real estate, and I admire you for that. I have a government that is organized and ready to go. Your statesmen make eloquent speeches about helping those with self-determination. We are self-determined. Why not help us? Am I any different from Nehru, Quezon- even your own George Washington? I, too, want to set my people free.
A "subject" must always in someway "pay" for his privileges, whereas a sovereign exercises his inalienable right under no such obligation.
